The Real Black and Gold Posted May 17, 2009 Report Posted May 17, 2009 Just about anyone from Vidor i WAY faster than anyone on this list... ;)
Bigdog Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 Depends on how far back you want to go. Eric Cammack wasn't too slow, neither was Micah.
Hotrodg Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 And.... that's why I like you Ozen's fastest and tigersvoice..... 'cause you understand track better than most. And when somebody puts a bull corn 40 or 100m time you guys know enough to at least question it and I know I'm not alone in rolling my eyes at the mess : You mean all those high school kids arent really running 4.2s and 4.3s?!!?!

PURPLE 4EVER Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 There is a HUGE difference between track speed and football speed. Whenever a player has pads on and is on the field running with the ball, some people can just turn the turbo boosters on, it is very apparent in many of the videos I do. AJ Dugat had football speed, might not have been quick on a track, but on the football field, when he broke out in the open, he pulled away from the opposition. NFL example of this is Barry Sanders, there is just an instinct and elusiveness that improves your football speed, it is NOT the same as running on a track. Don't know the Beaumont area too well, but watch out for Jakari Delasbour from Dayton next year (a freshmen, and from what they are saying he might be the quickest Bronco yet). He had one touchdown last year against CE King of about 60 yards, and when he crossed the goal line he was at least 15 yards ahead of the defenders. The video is on hsgametime.com... Will try to get the link up soon. As far as going way back, I sure would have loved to see Little Joe Washington play. From what I hear, he might have been the all time quickest and most elusive player in SETX history, although you got to say Jamaal Charles was in the same league.
Bigdog Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 You run faster when you have people chasing you!!
PURPLE 4EVER Posted May 22, 2009 Report Posted May 22, 2009 AMEN! Some people can just turn on the turbo boosters on better than others. Don't know how to define it, but you know it when you see it. Many times you see a running back blast through the line quicky, but is chased down by the D-Backs even though it doesn't look like he is slowing down, others just naturally pull away when in open field.
WTB Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Guys whens the last time you saw someone who is fast in Track not be fast in football? unless they are scared to death they are gonna be fast.

Kendall Cleveland was quite the spectacle to see as well! He was so big that it looked like he was running in slow motion, yet nobody was catching him!!!! It was awesome.
